Joint Oireachtas Committee on Health

National Maternity Strategy: Discussion

9:00 am

Professor Louise Kenny:

If we had €5 million, we would open our theatres and highly qualified internationally trained experts and sub-specialists in that area would operate on those women, as opposed to sending them to another hospital where they will meet a clinician who has never met them before, does not know their history, might do the wrong procedure and there is no aftercare. It is beyond poor in terms of clinical practice.
